Hotels near Pagoda Khao Hua Jook

I am glad i chose Cosi for a few first nights in Samui. The location is a dream right next to big shopping Mall and main street where you just step out to the left and everything are there:foods/bars/shops/massages/entertainment...you name it.. Also Cosi is not too far from the tourist spots like Big Buddha Temple/Wat Plai Laem/the Jungle Club.. Overall Pro: location/very nice staffs/price are totally affordable/nice clean room.. Con: I stayed on floor 1 (downstairs from the reception) and i can hear the live music from the night market quite clear,like you have a neighbor singing karaoke upstairs till midnight.So if you are not a person with noise please ask for room on top or so. Also my bathroom have a bit of sewer smell came out once a while even though its very new and clean. There are no telephone in the room so if you need anything you can’t just call from your room. But overall I highly recommend Cosi for your first Samui trip if you like to be at the center of everything with affordable pricing and a cosi clean room (sewer smell need to go) and very Nice Staffs. Thanks Cosi.

The hotel is centrally located just on Chaweng beach. The staff is very helpful and nice. The breakfast is poor, not many choices and average quality. Food in the hotel is quite expensive, but one can easily go out to the neighboring streets for great food with less money. The pool is a highlight. It is very big and few people. But in the same time, there is almost no public space in the hotel, because the pool and the pool-access rooms basically occupy all public space. One can only go to the end of the pool or the beach. In general the hotel worth its money we spent. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this hotel.

Stayed here during low season and got the room for under 30 bucks. Booked their cheapest room (Superior Studio) which is actually in another building, much older but got a free upgrade to the deluxe studio room. If you are staying here during low season they close the old building and upgrade everyone to the newer building. So save yourself some money and book their cheapest room. The bed is comfortable, nice large flat screen TV in the room with a decent channel line-up (something for almost everyone), strong aircon, small balcony for having a cig but no furniture. Decent bathroom with daily toiletries provided and two bottles of water. The swimming pool is huge and a bunch of loungers around the pool. The major downside is their is no free WIFI in the room and you have to go to the lobby for free WIFI. Fortunately we are on the second floor and are picking up the signal in our room which is very sweet. You can purchase a WIFI card at the front desk for an outrageous amount of baht if you want too but it is a real rip off...WIFI should be like oxygen...Free. Great location near Chaweng Beach, less than 10 minutes to the beach and you can cut through the Centara Grand Hotel or walk another short block and access the beach down a sandy lane, less than 5 minutes to 7-11. The hotel is off the main street and is very quiet. I would definitely stay here again as the room represents pretty good value given the free upgrade. Best price is on Agoda, their walkup and internet rates are laughable at best.

Over the years, I have been several times to Koh Samui, and this time I wanted to try a beach hotel on Chaweng Beach. The Hotel Staff provided me kindly and promptly with the GPS coordinates, so that I would waste no time looking for it while arriving from Hua Hin. The Staff made a very professional and well-coordinated impression, which was somewhat a surprise for a hotel that has just opened a couple of months ago, and we had a beautiful view from the 3rd floor, overlooking the ocean, the beach and the asymmetrically layed-out pool area. If I were to criticize something about the otherwise perfect top hotel, then it would be the fact that the fruit juices---from frozen concentrates---did not match the good quality of the other food items of the breakfast buffet.

Pros - new, very clean rooms and bathrooms - great location in the middle of Chaweng - nice swimming pool and lovely beach - great if you are looking to party with a group of friends - hotel manager ( a lovely girl )reception staff and cleaners very helpfull and friendly Cons - very loud in the evenings - people are partying in the rooms and hotel staff doesnt do anything about it so if you are looking for some quiet time you will not find it there - restaurant staff speaks very little english so its a challange to order anything - lots of mistakes due to language barrier - don’t get breakfast there if you are not looking to eat noodles and chinese food for breakfast - plenty better places around serving also european breakfast - if you are traveling with young kids DO NOT book this hotel - they will not be able to sleep during the night - hotel full of people from China and Israel so if you are looking for more european place and relax you wont find it there

Having eventually found the hotel, as there are no signs indicating its location from the main road I can only say how much I enjoyed my stay. I have been coming to Thailand every year for the past 8 years and stayed on Samui on 3 of those occasions and I must say that my stay at the Samui First Hotel has been the best. The hotel was for a 3-star hotel excellent, location for the beach also excellent,(although hotel a little further from the main part of town than I would have preferred) but I cannot fault the service of your staff which was always polite and helpful. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and will highly recommend it to all my friends in the U.K.

I extended my stay in Kohsamuii 3 times. One reason was the nice Ploen Hotel it made me feel home and there I could find again the famous smile of Thailand, what is gone in most places. Everything was just perfect. The location, the size room with Kitchenette, all modern designed and in exelent, clean shape. The rates are reasonable, but check them everyday before you book, because they are going up and down every day starting with 35 US up to 100 US. If you booked already and you check on your Agoda App and find out the rate dropped for the same room and the same dates, contract Agoda and with their low price guarantee, they adjust your rate to the posted rate and send you a refund. A bit of work, but you can save up to 50% from the rate you already paid. Overall the hotel offers 5 Star rooms, better than all 4-5 Stars hotels I stayed before, where I paid 5 times mo

This was my second time staying at the hotel and it was even better than the first time. Staff were just too great. They tried to give us a hand as possible as they could. Location is good for the one who can't ride motorbike like us and for the party animal like us as well. Everything was great except for one, this time wi-fi at the hotel wasn't working and that made their rate lower. Anyway, I recommend this hostel and hotel for anyone who wants to party all night, tries to find accommodation in the best location, or wants to save their budgets but still need the hostel or hotel in the city. This hostel and hotel would probably suit those just fine. By the way, for those who try to find peaceful place, this hostel and hotel wouldn't be recommended because its surrounding is full of party places and that leads to loud noises all night from their electro, house, and hip-hop music. As for us, it was fine and we can always get some sleep even there's a loud music around us anyway so this place is perfect for us. Let's go to samui, yeah!!

My boyfriend and I booked the Lotus Hotel for 3 days then another 5 days after a short trip to Koh Phangan. We love this Hotel. It's perfect for the rates offered and location! Rooms: Beds were quite comfortable considering most beds in Asia are like sleeping on cardboard. We loved the fridges in the room so we could stock up on snacks and cold drinks from the local markets. This hotel is located on the main street into Chaweng. It's close enough to all the action but far enough away to have peace and quiet. Just across the street from the beach was perfect for our morning runs. We rented a scooter from the hotel and it was perfect for exploring the island and costs almost nothing to fuel. Breakfast was free every morning. I was craving whole wheat toast (as opposed to the white bread you find everywhere) and the staff went out to buy some for me. We didn't actually eat at the hotel restaurant (as we liked to hit up the markets and buy most of our own food) but from what I saw it looked great! There is minimal amenities; a pool table and wifi but who needs a swimming pool when the beautiful blue ocean lies just steps away. We prefer getting out and exploring the beaches and waterfalls on the Island so we spent very little time at the hotel anyway. We did love chilling out in the lobby while we waited for the evening to start. The staff are what made this hotel stand-out. The owners Ryan and his brother have picked a wonderful staff to assist. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We went out one night with Ryan and his friend and he showed us how they like party in their home country, Turkey.... Lots of dancing and making noise....we had so much fun! Ryan has great advice on what to see and do and how to avoid tourist traps. -Alex and Nadia from Canada

I've stayed at the Chaweng Budget Hotel now a few times during my many years of visiting Koh Samui. I've shopped around for various other hotels over the years, but I always seem to find myself wanting to come back to the Chaweng Budget Hotel. For one thing, the hotel is in a good location. South Chaweng is, to my mind, the best part of Chaweng Beach. You get away from the crowds and the noise, and yet you can get down to the busy strip easily enough if you want to. The beach itself is also much better for swimming at this end, and it's generally just a nicer area overall. The staff at the Chaweng Budget Hotel are always friendly. Each time I stay, it feels like coming home. The rooms are clean and well-attended, and they still offer one of the best breakfasts on the entire strip for this kind of money. Plus, you get to use the health and pool facilities of its sister hotel. All in all, it's hard to beat the Chaweng Budget Hotel for this kind of money.

If your looking for a 5 star hotel then this isn’t it. But if your looking for affordable,comfortable accommodation only 200m from the beach then this is the place for you. Stayed here for 7 nights in a bungalow and couldn’t fault Pandora all, you get a lot of bang for your buck. nice quaint comfortable rooms a decent breakfast down to the strong hot showers this place is great. But most of all are the staff and management they make you feel at home,nothing is a problem for them. The hotel is close to money changers ,7 eleven,massage and bakery. Then it’s a short stroll across the road to one of the best beaches on the island. Thanks pandora I will be back

Booked this hotel for e last two nights of my holiday in Bangkok. Was pleasantly surprised about the standard of the rooms. Spacious, modern and luxurious. The best part was the friendly staff at the reception and restaurant. Always greeting you with the most cincere Sawadee and smile and being utmost helpfull when needed. The Kawh soi is a speciality from the North which I can recommend at the restaurant. Had better and more personal service here than many of the 5 star hotels I stayed at during the same holiday.

this hotel is existing for more then 10-15 year, and has a good location on Kao Hua Jook hillside facing Chewang Lake not far to Soi Mango but considering distance to the beach seems to be quite far to walk there everyday so bike or car rental is good idea. I think hotel's owner needs to invest some money for rooms renovation as interior looks old and musty. Nice and helpful staff. we had reservation for one night by agoda and when decided to stay two more days they charged us the same rate instead of regular.

Good point 1. Great location(1min walking distance to the chaweng beach, 1min walking distance to tesco, Just cross road food market, and 3 convenience store) 2. Really kind and cool boss and staff!!! I traveling almost 5month..only Thailand! You know we stayed many hotel and guest house. This is super best what Here staffs are kind and helpful and warm heart. First we booked through agoda for 7days but we wanted stay more 3days. Because really excellent residence. 3. Comfortable room If you want to eat to cook, here is best place. Big and new refrigerator, microwave, good induction range, dishes, cups, etc.. You would not feel discomfort . Bed is very comfort and big, sofa and table is too. 4. Delicious breakfast 5. Very nice restaurant 6. Wifi is good working Bad point 1. Little noise Samui boxing stadium is close to hotel. So advertising sound is to make some noise. But late at night stop sound so it is not big deal. 2. Mosquitoes Little mosquitos in room. I would stay again if I will come again Samui. Really really super best!!!!

I booked 2 days and ended up staying for 5 in early April. The rooms are big with balconies, I was upstairs. Good wifi and right on the beach. The place is really quiet given that is right in Chaweng. The beach chairs are nice and the staff is friendly. It's inexpensive and pretty basic but they do give you free water, shampoo, body wash and coffee in the room. It's all I needed. The bed was fine but they don't change your sheets, just make up the bed. Not a big deal for me but for some maybe it is. The A/C worked well but I have to say since it's a beach bungalow, I did get a lot of mosquito bites! If you are on a budget and want a place on the beach with access to bars, stay here. I think the best part is walking down the beach at night to all the bars and eating on the beach. Swimming is ok, just shallow water.

Nice big rooms with 2 beds, but you have to walk alot from the lobby till the room, it is kind of deserted and empty, when it came time to Renew my booking they were showing fully booked for the normal room and wanted me to upgrade to the pool access room which was more Expensive, this hotel was deserted saw very few people, but otherwise very nice for 850 baht which I paid

Hotel very good . Room was very comfortable , cozy , bed was very comfortable, has small balcony ( dry swimming suits ) Have good lobby with sofas and 2 computers , flowers etc. Reseption girls speak very well in English , they were very kind and helpful . Hotel has sensor lift . Room , lobby always Fresh and good smell .Breakfast buffet was also good ( juice , fruits 2 types Jam , breads , tea , coffe , milk , corn , flakes etc.Few minutes walk to the best bitch in Samui island . Close to Family market , 7/11 , Tesco. Near so many restaurant and shops( where can eat cheap food) . Hotel located in center Chaweng everything close . Room cleaning did everyday , bed sheet and towel changed everyday . Inside room everyday 2 Botle water . Hot water for tea 24 hours in dining room . We took for first time for one day but then liked so much then continuo living they are for 6 days . I recommend this hotel , I will back this hotel again .

Maybe the outside ihasnot alot of atmosphere but the room is great. The shower is big/fabulous and can get Very very hot. Separate toilet. The bed kingsize very good not hard...the other bed ( single) also good. So you have an kingbed and a singlebed at the room. Lots of towels all kind of sizes, even there are 2 large towels for the poobeds or beach ( Blue Lagoon ). I went to the Blue Lagoon beach.....you can buy food and drinks by the beachventers in the middle of Blue Lagoon and The Amari, good price of cours. TV great very very large size... lost of channels all internation some Thai channels to. The Wifi is pretty fast for Thailand. The reception good ...need them only for check in and out. I am very familiar at Samui. Restaurant Sala Thai around the corner surprises me and your next door of Prego famous Italian restaurant at Koh Samui. You can walk to the center, bars and shoppingmall ( Central Festival ). Iff u come for the room, pool, location and price its great

An excellent place to stay and value for money. The room was large and clean. The internet is pretty decent, and the hotel is near practically everything you might need. There is a family mart next door, so groceries are sorted. The tour agency will rent you scooters and you can book stuff with them. The restaurant next door though, is a little expensive for local standards but serve a decent variety and quality of food. Located just outside the Chaweng main party stretch, it is easy to grab one of the buses into the stretch, and since the roads around the hotel is 2 way, it avoids the crazy traffic during the evenings. It is a little far from the beach, and that's my only complaint. That aside, everything is pretty good with this hotel. I'd definitely go there again in my next visit.

Stayed at bhundhari for 2 days after checking out from another hotel. Had a beach front private pool villa which was outstanding. Very well maintained by the staff. Memories worth remwmbering from the time we got the pick up from another hotel to bhundhari. Location: At chaweng.. Not even 5mins drive to the main chaweng area. Big Buddha is also 5 mins drive from the resort but in other direction from chaweng main street. A perfect place for relaxing as well as partying. Facilities: Services at its finest. The pick up to the hotel and to the airport. The staff is very helful always with a smiling face. The resort is spread along 2 sides of the main road. If u r staying in rooms close to the beach then they always have a golf cart ready in 2 3 mins. The beach restraunt is nice along with the common pool with good music playing around throughout the day. The private pool is accesible from the room itself. And the beat part is the lightings. The view is mesmirising at night as well during the day. The lights in the pool allows to have agood swim during night hours as well. Bathroom is huge with a jacuzzi facing the pool and the beach. The sun beds are also comfortable enough besides the private pool. Had an awesome experience. A big thanks to Mr.Babu who was very friendly and attended to all our needs. You just think of something and Mr.Babu has the answer to it. From the time we checked in till we checked out throughout our stay he made sure that we had a comfortable stay. Hotel can arrange the car or bike if you want to drive along. Food: Buffet breakfast was perfect with a vast variety. Also the lunch dinner and snacks were good. Room service avilable also you can enjoy the food next to the beach. Conclusion: A perfect resort. Will definetly recommend bhundhari to anybody visiting koh samui.

Was upgraded to a Deluxe Bungalow for a discount upon arrival. Considering Resort is in heart of Chaweng, the resort is quiet and the lush gardens offer tranquility. The Bungalow was clean and had a rustic feel to it. The restaurant food was excellent with prices being very cheap for a resort. Wifi worked throughout resort. No telephone or free bottled water in room. The hotel staff struggle with English, but become friendlier the longer you stay. The lady/owner was very nice. The beach is great, amongst the best of Chaweng.

We booked here for 3 nights and ended up staying 6 more nights paid through the hotel. Small hotel with spacious bungalow style rooms with lots of light and nicely gardened areas around rooms. Rooms sit off the road so nice and quiet at night. Pool was nice with shade and sun options for lounging and a few tabled areas for sitting and eating. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Laundry by the kilo available onsite. Hotel also has some long stay options with microwave and dining area plus 2 awesome villa style rooms with living room areas and small private pools. Onsite parking area also. The only negatives we would say were some areas had spotty or weak Wi-Fi and only limited TV channels but we rarely used anyway. Some areas of the property are in need of updating or repair but this can be expected of almost any smaller hotel in Thailand. None of these things affected our stay and did not include any of the daily use areas of the property. Especially considering this was on the lower end of the prices for hotel with a pool it was a spectacular bargain and we will happily stay again

For tailor, go to Moda Milan International Suits and see Rooney (nicest guy you'll meet). The shop is around five minutes walk towards Chaweng shopping precinct (Burger King etc.) on the left hand side of the road. Down that same side street, you will find internet cafe (1BHT/min) who are also able to do tour bookings - see Chicken (English translation for his real name!). Be sure to book yourself onto the Jungle Safari - though attempt to bargain them down. Originally 1,700BHT, I got for 1,500BHT and a mate was able to bargain another agent down to 1,100BHT! At the end of this side road is the Ark Bar - best eatery in Samui-a must try. Also, nearby on the other side of the road you will find Martin's Place - small, friendly & tasty eatery with Italian and Thai cuisine. The people of Samui rock! If you can be in Samui for the Full Moon Party, do it. But hit Koh Phangnan for the party itself. Bus/speedboat transfers between Samui and Koh Phangnan are easily arranged at around 600 Baht.
